Florida man sentenced after videotaping himself having sex with sleeping child
On Wednesday, November 29, Orlando’s District Judge Wendy Berger sentenced 29-year-old Stephon K’Trell Anderson of Apopka, Florida, to 16 years in federal prison for producing a video of containing explicit acts of child sexual abuse. Anderson was also ordered to serve a 10-year term of supervised release and register as a sex offender. Anderson pleaded guilty to child sex abuse charges on September 13.
Background: the Apopka Police Department received a cyber tipline report that originated from Twitter when a Twitter account was identified as uploading a video of child sexual abuse material. On March 10, the FBI and the Apopka Police Department tracked down the address of the Twitter user and executed a search warrant at the residence in Apopka. Anderson was encountered at the residence and turned over two cellphones to law enforcement.
The FBI conducted a forensic search of the cellphones and located videos that Anderson had recorded involving a child victim. The videos were recorded by Anderson using his cellphone over a period of multiple weeks. One of the videos involved Anderson engaged in sexually explicit conduct with the child victim while the child victim slept.
The case against Anderson was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative launched in May 2006 by the Department of Justice to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse.
